I created this Docker image to automate the steps needed to get from the base continuumio/anaconda image to a running Jupyter Notebook server.

• Updates conda
• Installs jupyter
• Runs the notebook
• Comes with instructions for use as a single user notebook server

Prerequisites

• A working Docker host
  • On Linux, just install docker.
  • On OSX/Win, check out Docker Toolbox

Usage

docker run -t -p 8888:8888 -v ~/ipython_notebooks:/notebooks -i pdxhub/jupyter-anaconda

Customize

To customize the image, clone the repo and edit the Dockerfile, then docker build.

• git clone https://github.com/pdxhub/docker-jupyter-anaconda
• Edit Dockerfile, adding more lines like RUN conda install my_package.
• Each time you make a change:

docker built -t jupyter-anaconda .

Note you can run your custom image with -i jupyter-anaconda.
